Why 20x overhead over raw storage cost?

- sekh60 3y agoThat is all in, including motherboards, RAM, chassis, CPUs, etc. then replica count three as opposed to erasure coding. That replica count alone is 3x the cost. And TiB, not TB, and Canadian prices, with shipping from the US for Supermicro parts. Each node is about 6-7000 CAD before drives and I use 6 enterprise rust and two enterprise SSDs per node. Cost would be lower of I built nodes with more drive capacity, but I want to keep nodes to 2RU to have more nodes in 36RU.
